The Roman baths were not religious institutions, they were social institutions. The only bath that was built on/near a shrine was the Roman baths at Bath. It had been a Celtic shrine and the Romans identified the Celtic goddess with their goddess Minerva. However, even here, the baths themselves had no particular religious connotations, except perhaps healing. They were used for recreational purposes and getting clean.
